I've heard a rumour that recent work at the Catterline exchange is the installation a new fibre optic connection. This is understood to be going live in the next couple of months, bringing super fast fibre optic broadband to Catterline. However, we wll still need to wait for more local cabinets to be installed before this will reach out houses. This is more likely to happen more quickly in cases where several neighbours collectively expressed a desire to upgrade.

Catterline Toddlers is looking for some local help, with the majority of participants leaving to start Rising Fives an opportunity has opened for some new children/parents to take over Catterline Toddler Group. This group has been running for years thanks to endless support from local volunteers and we now are looking for some new help from the community, it is a
valuable source of support for parents and carers in the area and is a fabulous opportunity for our little ones to experience their local school.

If there is anyone interested in supporting this group then they can contact myself, Nichola Wicks 07771 984739.

In addition, the toddler group will not be meeting for the rest of the term as Rising Fives has taken this slot.

Catterline residents have been asked to be on the lookout for monkeys following an escape from a local animal sanctuary.

The Grassic Gibbon Centre announced that a number of their monkeys escaped earlier yesterday afternoon during a 'routine cleaning operation'. Most of them were recaptured almost immediately, but three remain at large.

Grassic Gibbons are small timid animals and are not believed to pose a risk to the public. "They are easily startled and will be more frightened of you than you are of them", said the Grassic Gibbon Centre's Chief Monkey Wrangler, Tom Booker. Nonetheless, members of the public have been urged not to attempt to capture them. "They can become quite vicious if trapped, and have sharp teeth and a surprisingly powerful grip", said Tom. "If you see any of the Grassic Gibbons at large, please contact us as soon as possible and our specially trained Monkey Recapture Squad will respond immediately".
